30 weeks and in pain

Share

Im having alot of pain in many places this is my second child and the only pain i had with my frist was the back pain. There are times that i can barly walk because BOTH of my hips feel like there locking up and the pain is so bad i cant move my partner has acually had to help me off the toliet and go across the hall to our bedroom. i hurts to roll over it hurts to walk, lift my leg even hurts to just lay down. Im forced to lay on my side because if i lay on my back i get sick and dizzy. Im also get a more disturbing pain in my lower stomach,straight down the middle. I feels as if my uterus is going to fall out before i get a sharp pain from inside my vagina almost feels as if its right on my cervix. it shoots all the way up that area to my belly button and then stops. this happends many times during the day and it can be wether im sitting, standing, walking whatever. I was wondering if anyone else is having simalar problems or if anyone knows what could be causing it. thanks ~Jami

I could have written this question myself. Mainly in the evenings thru first thing in the morning I am in so much pain. The pain is mostly in my pubic area and upper inner thighs, tho I sometimes have sciatic nerve pain too. I am almost in tears when I try to roll over in bed which I do often because of hip pain. I need help sitting up and getting out of bed. I can't lift my legs. I have to lift my legs with my hands. My doctor said this was all normal especially for third pregnancies like mine. Tylenol helps sometimes, but I don't like to take any medicines unless absolutely necessary. My other two pregnancies were a breeze compared to this one. I never had this pain, especially so early on. It started about two months ago. Add to that the restless leg syndrome and protein deficiency which keeps me chronically fatigued and I'm a mess. It breaks my heart that I can't enjoy this pregnancy like the other two.

I am having the same problem as you. I'm also having my second child which will be 7yrs apart from my first. It's uncomfortable to sleep at night because I can't sleep on my sides and so I sit on the couch and elevate and sleep. Walking is very painful as well. I've been praying for a 2nd child so with every painful step, I am grateful and blessed...even thru my tears. Take care.

i know exactly how u feel. I've been having pelvic pains for the last 2months. Its so unbearable, i can't walk most of the times. I have sharp shooting pains almost everyday and every minute. If i lie down on my back, its uncomfortable, my side, the baby moves like i'm squeezing him so i hardly get any sleep at all these days.

I feel the same way! this is my second child. I started getting contractions at 26 weeks due to a bladder infection and the nurse said that every pregnancy after your first you feel more and more. :o( Everything has already been stretched out so its really lose (muscles) so we just gotta tough it out...take hot baths, and use tylenol (ask your doctor about tylenol 3)

I am also 30 wekks preggers with my second and this is also a whole new experience in pain for me as well Our first is going to be two in June and is a big boy @ 36 lbs and yes standing sitting laying walking no matter what shooting pains in the vagania and lower abdomen for me as well I talked to my doctor and the ultrasound tech and they both said that it is the pelvic bones rubbing together and that it is normal I was concerned because I have a complete plecenta previa and was worried it was something serious but they said no that it was ok and not to worry but it is VERY uncomfortable and makes caring for my son difficult at times well let's face it it makes everything difficult lol

You have described me exactly. I have had nothing but hip and cervix pain for close to 4 months now. This is my second child, I am at 30 weeks tomorrow and am 39 years old. I have trouble walking up and down the steps, getting dressed is a joke and getting in and out of the car is extremely painful. I have had extreme pressure and very low kicking. I actually went to my doctor 3-4 weeks ago to see if I was in pre-term labor and it turned out that my cervix had become soft but it was still long and not dilated. Still they sent me to the labor and delivery floor for observation. I am also having extreme siatic nerve pain that goes from the hip all of the way down to my foot and causing it to go numb. Exhuastion is a big issue right now as well as well as being dizzy and unable to breather while laying on my back. I am hoping that on Tuesday I can get them to sign my short term disability papers because I don't think I can take the drive anymore. Feeling very helpless.

im pregnant with twins i have a yr old and a 1 yr old. my hip pain is so bad i have fallen down my stair s once and almost did it 3 times just today. i have talked to several people that had the same pain but not as severe. i use a pregnancy pillow thaf goes between my legs when i sleep that has been the biggest help. A heating pad and hot baths help. my doctor suggested a pregnancy belt it doesnt work for me but i have heard it helping others. Resting frequently with my feet up helps also. if i can be of any help contact me.

I experience that with one of my pregnancies to you have to let your doctor know right away and just relax yourself take warm sit down bathes with bubbles to sooth your muscles by candle light and take it easy during the day take alot naps and take tylenol for your aches and pains. When you do that everything should be fine with you and those pains and i hope you feel much better ok.
